Pure and plentiful: the development of modern waterworks in the United States, 1801–2000

Abstract This paper treats major themes in the development of urban water supply in the United States from the Fairmount Waterworks in Philadelphia (1801) to modern systems in the late twentieth century. Technical changes in sources of supply, distribution networks, filtration, and treatment are central to the discussion with an eye to the environmental implications of the evolving systems.
